Rider Aids 8211 KTM rider aids are developed to enhance riding experience by providing more control in different riding scenarios ABS MTC and specially engineered RIDE MODES allow you to get the most out of your machine when barreling down the motorway or when attacking twisty mountain roads

MTC Motorcycle Traction Control 8211 Making use of the latest generation of KTM MTC traction is improved by using an advanced 6D Inertial Measurement Unit This not only regulates and controls any slip at the rear wheel but also prevents uncontrolled lifting of the front wheel With these two forces combined the motorcycle is guaranteed the best possible acceleration With all the data collected from the various sensors the system detects and controls power wheelies and ensures stability as well as smooth wheel landing and acceleration

Cornering ABS 8211 Grab a handful of brakes with total confidence thanks to a new 9 3 MP ABS unit This allows riders to use full braking power mid corner with the 6D sensor doing all the hard work The 6D sensor works by continuously monitoring and evaluating the current dynamic state of the motorcycle enhancing safety and stability during braking Also this level of ABS technology is unmatched providing precise and efficient stopping power with the highest level of safety

Seat Comfort 8211 The single piece Supermoto style seat on the KTM 890 SMT was developed to allow uninhibited freedom of movement while providing maximum grip and comfort when carving around mountain passes solo Want to tour 2 up No problem The seat has been designed for long days in the saddle touring with a pillion too

Supermoto ABS 8211 So it makes sense then that any KTM motorcycle bearing the SMT name has a need to deliberately execute slides SUPERMOTO ABS allows the rider to lock the rear wheel as and when required 8211 a prerequisite for committed Supermoto riding The ABS function remains active on the front wheel while activated too

Wheels and Tires 8211 Michelin PowerGP tires are wrapped around a set of 17 8243 lightweight light alloy wheels This means low levels of unsprung mass and epic levels of handling and ride dynamics

Brakes 8211 Slowing the apex hunting KTM 890 SMT down comes courtesy of twin 320 mm brake disks and JJuan 4 piston radially mounted calipers These are used in conjunction with a J JUAN axial master cylinder making for impressive braking control and stopping power At the rear a 260 mm brake disk is actuated by a double piston floating caliper also supplied by J JUAN

Bodywork 8211 Not to be mistaken for anything else on the mountain The KTM 890 SMT has a double fender design composed of a high front fender that takes inspiration from the KTM 450 SMR and a lower splash guard which is connected to the fork leg protectors This along with spoilers and rear side panels that are slightly wider than the seat for improved control and to reduce wear and tear on the seat and in mold graphics for further durability make the KTM 890 SMT ready for anything

Aerodynamics 8211 A newly designed and aerodynamically optimized short wind deflector has been developed to provide just the right level of wind protection while still maintaining that signature sporty KTM look
